Is it possible to just apply Strong Password settings GPO to
individual containers or does it have to be done at the domain level?
Everything I see in documentation references making a copy of the default
domain policy. Therefore the reason for the question.

Thanks,

You can only do that on domain level. Multiple Password Policies is not
supported in Windows Server 2003 - but there's a bunch of third party
software out there than can take care of it.

In Windows Server 2003, password policies apply only at the domain level.

Windows Server 2008 has a new password settings container that allows you to
apply more fine-grained password policies. Information here:
